JULY 15, 1S70,
A Death in Battle.
The battle of Aliwal was fought on the
28th day of January, 1846, At one time,
the Sikh cavalry. had well nigh captured Sir
Harry Smith himself, who was obliged to
shift his .position in consequence. - At this
moment, an officer on his staff was struck
down by a fi agment of shell, which shatter-
ed his right thigh and hip joint in a hpidous
manner: Some men of his troop, 'seeing
hini fall, obtained leave to run to his assis-
tance and in a 'few m -
'pule he « as on a
stretcher, and being carried to the rear.
The men were devoted to him, and they car-
ried him through that dreadful field or
-slaughter„with as mucli.care Is if conveying
a. baby in its cradle. When within a short
distance of the staff surgeonns tent, they
carne upon a private of the, ” the iegivent,
--lying .desperately. wounded.: The poor
fellow looked up piteously and touched his
cap, as he recognized his officer: in agony on
a b Y
the stretcher,: Captain C called to his
men to halt, and to raise hire up slightly
leaning over, lie soon saw the nature of the
soldiers' " wound, which was far less danger-
ous than his own.
"Let me out," he said, "I can't move-;
you lift me out, ,that'll do, .gently—yes,
that's broken too, (as they touched his spine)`
,,,So—now
ariy him to the doctors ; tney
can do nothing for me, not too late for /um
yet—just a .little more so --facing the en-
emy—that's it.
" But, sir— " remonstrated one of the
men.
"Be quick with him, then tonne back; I'm
not likely to have left this," he added, with
a slight smile.
!The- men did as ordered, and depositing
the wounded trooper, they returned to Cap-
tain G' He, had pot indeed left, that, he
lay facing the enemy still., and.the playful
smile with which he had addressed to them
his last words, lingered yet on his face ;
but his troubles were over; victory or defeat
w
ere now alike to him, and he had left the
° field of strife for the peaceful world where
dwell the spirits of th.ejust made perfect.. 4.
The instances of m en hopelessly wounded
refusing to monopolize the doctor €ire ° nu
means rare; and if the battle -field is some-
times the scene of outrages at which
hu-
manity shudders, it occasionally
provides
us with instances of unsurpassed- heroism
...with self-sacrifice.

Responsibilities of a Sea -Captain.
If we regard the ship as allying monster.
forcing its way uy its own peculiar organ
of locomotion through those, billows and
storriis, we must considei the state -room of
the car tain as the, seat of its brain. The du-
-,:ties of the commander of a sea -going steamer
i ae not only., extremely various, butthey
involve the possession of a combination of
mental qualities and - attainments most di
verse in their character, many of them be-
ing such -as are seldom conferred by nature,
and are very difficult of attainment, but
which are absolutely- essential to the sticcess-
ful execution of his charge. - He must be a
good ruler. No monarch can be' more 8,1)-
saute
bsolute than he in the control of everything
on board his ship, from m the time his clisnis-
sing the pilot at the commencement of his.
voyage, to his taking the pilot. at the -end
of it. He has, however, three different
communities to govern, entirely distinct
from each other, and involving quite dif-
ferent methods and principles of treatment
in the einergenciesthat occur.. Tliey are;
first, the company of cabin passengers; sec-
ondly, the ship's company, consisting of sea- -
men, engineers, firemen, cooks, and stew-
ards, sometimes amounting to hundreds in,
number; and, thirdly, the emigrants—a bo-
dy of men, women and - children, to the
number often of more than a thousand. Tlius
the commander of one of these ships has:-en-
trusted
en-tusted to his charge a heteroge ueous com-
munity of oue or two thousand souls,° -enough
to form the _population of quite _ a town.—
These, all packed together in the closest
'quarters, in the ship -which he -con mands,'he
has the responsibility of conveying through
Mists and gales, and driving storms of sno w
antt rain, breasting the heaviest seas, and
treading his tortuous way among tides and
currents and mountains of floating ice, with.
only a plank between his little world of
human hopes and fears and the world of
waters, which, when in their angry moods,
rage and roar around him, as- if eager to
make the ship and its contents the_ it prey:
He, has to find his way over this pathless
deep, by means of stars which are constant-
ly in notion, and by the sun, •which on two
days pursues the same trach through the
skies. The needle of his compass is liable
to be disturbed in its indications by many
causes. A' blow struck upon any portion
of his iron ship may derange it; and -upon
the variation of his chronometer to the am-
ount of the fraction of a second during tire
voyage the question may depend whether
he.shhall strike upon a rock or outer the
port in safety at the end of it. One would
suppose that the solicitude and anxiety
which would attend the sustaining r nb of re-
sponsibilities like these would be over-
. •whelming. But they are not so. No
class amen enjoy better health, or perhaps
lead lives of greater freedom from anxiety
and care, than these commanders: The rea-
son is that they are- as a class thoroughly
qualified for their work; and men do easily
what they do well. --From "The Ocean
Steamer," by Jacob Abbott, in H arper's
Magazine_ for July.
r She wholoves show is unquallified to show
love. We should, therefore, avoid contract-
ing an intimate friendship with a female
whose love of the gay and .frivolous has
closed her heart to the influence of . heroic

The higher the civilized condition of
ciety, the more apt are men to suffer
paired vigor from over -feeding, because.
ands are multiplied, are made more ten
ing because men have- more leisure,
eating becor„,es a luxury as well as a
ccssity° :because people .are less addicte

There is many an irritable mall, ;full-blod-

Another fountain of ill -health is found in
the improper indulgence of man's passions.
We do not allude to thosedebaucheries which
vice keeps, and which the word of. Gocl
marks as the Ways of Death: Those un-
hallowed Lists drown hien in perdition, or
consume them as in fire.

Wasteful indulgence in eating and drinl
ing, wasteful indulgence in pleasure and
lust, and wastefulnessof the brain by over-
work and under sleep—these three causes
lower the working power of socioty, we
should think, one full third. And although
practised in the interest of enjoyment, they
diminish the real enjoyment or society, we
suspect, a full .hall.—II. TV. Beecher.

of .the style of corporal punishment in. vog
in many British schools. A e;tory is' to
now, of,a; spirted girl who, in one of thes
schools, broke some of the regulations; th
ppenalty of which was a whipping. She r
belled, and refused to snbtnit to the cast
gation. Her parents were written to fo
permission to restrain her. She being a
officer's daughter, word was sent that disci;
-line must be enforced; she must resign hei
self, to the punishment. She would no
-yield, and therefore, was forcibly tied clown
exposed, and flogged. ` As a further pen
alty for mutiny, she was compelled to spen
her vacation at school. She was 16 year
of age, and the insult and indignity offe,re
to her womanhood rankled. With her your
cousin, a midshipman, she concocted a pl
for revenge. Seizing the opportunity whe
-the household were abroad, and the riratr•oi
alone, obedient to a signal, the rnidshil>ivau
was on on Band, and assisted to gag and atm
the matron down. Then he disappeared
Wand the young lady, appropriating the sain
instrument with which she had been tor
tared, leather thongs; "«lith all her strengtl
laid them upon the bare person of her in
etructor, whom slie then left to regain li
betty as best she could, while she sought th
protection' of an uncle. IIer relative, who
was rich and powerful, while appearing to
censure, really espoused her cause, negotiat
eel with her parents, and finding her em
Uttered against them and unwilling to re
turn'home, finally adopted her.

FRANKNESS ILLUSTRATED! Some persons
profess great love of, frankness; they would
have no concealments among friends or even
acquaintances, but would let every man let
his thoughts be seen as plainly as if he liad
a pane of glass in his breast. Miss Mitford
in one of her letters recently published,
tellsn anecdote of Goodwin, the author
'Cale Williams,' which is a good comentary
on this doctrine. 'Godwin was once visit-
ing.a friend of hers, in company with.. Cu -
ran, and pretended, as usual. to go to sleep
after dinner. That it was only . make-be-
lieve was, however, very visible, and Curan
seized the opportunity to treat his worthy
host with a character of Godwin the most
bitter that his malice could invent, qualify-
ing every phrase with, 'though he ismy -
b
friend.' The contortions of the philosopher,
who dared not show that he was awake du
ring this castigation, and the pretended
fear which Curran showed of awakening
him, the concealed anger of the one when
he did venture to open his eyes, and the as-
sumed
sumed innocense of the other—formed a
scene, says Miss Milford, which no comedy
ever equalled: ' The advocate of sincerity,
the frank philosopher, Godwin, never for-
gave this- practical exemplification of his
theory.

A Florence nobleman recently received a
letter, with which he was threatened with
death unless he laid 4,000 florins the next
day in one of the city fountains. The no-
bleman at once took the letter to the police
authorities, and then laid the demanded mo-
ney in the appointed fountain. The next
day a. finely-dre§sed young man cautiously
approached the fountain, and was taking
to have him releasecl have a5 yet proved un-
